I'm afraid I probably won't be of much help since I'm not too familiar with any connections between weed and hormones. However, I did notice that you specifically asked about interactions with HRT, so I did want to point out that any interactions with HRT could be different from those with the body ...

I too experience difficulty sleeping when my hormone levels are low, and while I don't know if it would be permanent, it persists for as long as I don't take hormones. Something that I have had luck with is hops. It is a supplement that you can find in many stores, at least where I live. When I use ...

yes, it is so confusing how much effects of no T vary. some eunuchs do not complain about insomnia at all, saying that they sleep even better without T. I've gone through few chemcastration periods. For me one of the first signs of very low T is debilitating insomnia along with lack of morning ...

Every now and then, I think about starting a YouTube channel. It seems like everyone is making money on YouTube these days. While it would likely be a while before my channel would make any money (if it ever did), I suppose that everyone who is making money with it had to start somewhere ...

I was castrated at age 20 after thinking it over for a few months beforehand. I was aware of most of the consequences but was still willing to take the risk. However, I'd be willing to bet there are some consequences that we still don't know about, so it's always a good idea to be sure that ...

Well folks, I'm getting the itch to wander again. Travel has always been part of my life, so this should not come as too much of a surprise. I've always enjoyed the thrill of exploring someplace new, that way of looking at a place with the eyes you can only have when seeing it for the first time. I ...

What do you think of the theory of existence of the multi-Universes? Lifetime of our Universe about 13.8 billion years. But this period of time is not enough that such live molecule as, for example, our DNA absolutely was in a random way formed. I do not think that monism is possible, and I tend ...

As a believer I have pretty standard Christian outlook, but I think that your world, your network of friends, experiences material possessions are unique and die with you



Thanks for your reply, Origen22. I identified with the Christian worldview for the first 18 years of my life, so it is one ...

Over the years, it's become apparent to me that when most folks ponder the question "is there anything after death?" The question they are really asking is, "Is there anything after death... for me?"

The standard assumptions regarding the "afterlife," of course, are that either the self will ...

Wow. Just wow.

There are things that are important in life. Please focus on those.

Please be careful about reducing the anti-psychotics. Only do it with a doctor's active supervison. I have had friends who decided they didn't need those things, then lost their connections to reality. A couple ...

In my late teen years (which, from what I've heard, is supposed to be around the time that one's IQ reaches its maximum potential), my IQ was tested at 119. This was further confirmed by corresponding exactly with my SAT score (under the "old" scoring model). My recent IQ test, however, has my IQ ...

Well folks, it's update time again. :)

These days, I am taking T. While there is much that I miss about taking E, I do have to admit that my emotions are definitely more "settled" when taking T, and perhaps settled means that they are better. I don't really get the euphoric moods that E often ...

Hi, all! Hope everyone is doing well.

It's been a little while, so I thought it was time for another update. I think this time I will start with gender and hormone stuff. :)

Some time ago, I stopped taking both E and T. I am now taking 10 mg of DHEA a day, and I seem to be doing pretty well with ...

Hi, all! :) It's been a while, but I can't type as much as I used to these days. The insane amount of typing I do finally caught up with me this last summer. It hit me suddenly one day after an especially intense typing bout - pain and tingling in my hands and arms. It went away but came back a few ...

I am sad to report that tugon passed away this afternoon as I was visiting him. I was told that Corky will be well taken care of and was shown a picture of a happy little girl holding him.

Arrangements are pending, and if I am told of anywhere that gifts can be sent, I will provide an update ...

Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that I've been informed of some heartbreaking news regarding tugon. He is in the hospital with liver failure, and I've been told he probably won't make it.

I will be going to visit him later today and will keep everyone posted as I learn more.

MacTheWolf: Glad to see you are still plugging away despite the medical and financial issues! The wonders of modern medicine definitely make that stuff a lot easier to deal with. Hopefully they find a cure for shingles sometime soon.......I know I'll probably be dealing with it myself someday!

Well ...

No problem! I'm sure others were wondering as well. :) Rest assured that I also read each post to your blog, even if I as well don't always have a ton to say!

That stinks about the bill.....I've definitely been there before. The way I would probably look at it though is it's best not to take ...

Friend plix, you are definitely long-winded :) Speaking of your mostly fundamentalist Christian friends, did I tell you I joined the Mormon church?

By the way, are you still substitute teaching or did you find full time teaching?



I know! The funniest part is it could have actually been about ...

OK, so the whole "try to ignore the gender/sexuality issues and focus on other things instead" plan hasn't worked. The issues come back as strong as ever no matter how much I try to ignore them.

So I am now trying a different plan, which involves allowing myself to explore and research these issues ...

Any further news on your health issues? I've been worried about you......hope everything is OK! That definitely sounds scary!

OK, it's been a little while since I've updated, so I thought it was time to check in. :)

Surprising as it may seem, yes, I am still taking E. I've been on it for a few days over five months now (not counting my adventures with DHEA, which would place it closer to six). This is about the same ...

Tany Squirrel
: Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

You have been very helpful. :)

Yes, I have considered that I might be some variety of genderfluid. It would definitely explain the hormonal shifts. Although in my case, a more apt term might be something like "lifefluid" since my ...

fhunter: No worries about the hijacking concerns! If it were me and it were someone else's blog, I'd probably start a new thread if I wanted to have an extended conversation about my own experiences just out of a desire to be kind and polite, but I think just the sharing of one's own experiences is ...
